The HatsAll Montecristi hats have hand-cut, hand-sewn leather sweatbands and hand-sewn grosgrain ribbon.If you need a long brim or high crown, simply leave a note at checkout and I'll follow up with you on the price, generally $20.00 per additional cm (weaving around the end of the hat takes a long, long time!). Average brims are in the range of 2 3/4 to 3 1/4 inch this year. Please leave a note if you want a specific brim length. |
